Whether you’re a
new graduate, or someone who’s looking to advance your career, this
book is packed with valuable information. The book covers what you
want in a job (Part One), how to find a new job (Part Two), and
skills for succeeding in your new job (Part Three).
None of the
information is unique to this book, but the approach to job hunting
and more important succeeding in your new job is well thought out.
Many people have a vague, or not so vague, idea of what they’d like
to do. Less frequently, job hunters have thought out what they value
in a workplace environment. This book provides checklists and
questionnaires to help you identify your values. If you want flexible
hours, as opposed to being constantly on call, the requirements of
your position will be a major factor in how happy and successful you
are in your new job.
Although sections
one and two are valuable and filled with tips for interviews and how
to network, I found section three the most interesting. Too many
people don’t think about how to succeed after they land the dream
job. People skills are a major factor in success. Some people may be
born with them, but anyone can learn them. If you’re already in a
job and perhaps unsatisfied, I recommend reading section three and
trying to hone your skills before looking to move on.
I received this book
from Blogging for Books for this review.
